About the Silex:
The
Silex True Air Speed paraglider has been specially designed for paramotoring,
and is ideal for regular training usage. The aim of construction was to design a
powerful, fast and safe paraglider with easy handling. We are able to offer you
a complete system licenced by the German Association of ultra light flyers (DULV)
which fulfils all necessary standards of a modern paraglider.
Because of the emphasis placed on safety at Fresh Breeze, we have
incorporated the following features into the Silex True Air Speed paraglider:
Easy inflation and lift properties, Minimal tendency for "ground-hugging" during
take-off, Near-zero level of negative turning or overturning and
Self-stabilization of the canopy in cases of failure - even without the pilot's
help. The Silex is a very efficient canopy: you can easily continue flying with
the motor switched off, or you can interrupt your flight without any problems.
The
paraglider also features a shortened harness system which makes "Big Ears" and
B-stalling possible. The Silex can accommodate a maximum starting weight of up
to 140kg. In addition to that trimmers can be used to increase speed
considerably and to compensate for the torque of the motor.
The Silex is a special motor-paraglider, designed with safety in
mind. The Silex inflates easily and quickly and does not hang back. A light pull
on the risers will get the Glider overhead with little effort.
The Silex is very efficient and has a good glide ratio. The best
features are high top end speed, light brake pressure, easy turning with high
roll rate and high internal pressure to resist tucks.
The
Silex is suited for intermediate and advanced pilots with reasonable air time
under there belt.
Now manufactured form perseverance fabric, the highest quality
available. With life expectancy approaching 600 hours!
The Silex is available up to a maximum of 308 lb take-off weight.
The Silex is safety certified by DULV (German Ultralight Organization).
Includes unique combination backpack/stuffsack, inner bag, cinch
strap, speed bar and trimmers, owners manual. All with black and white
checkerboard.
